My Ulu
I have been collecting knives for many years and have some rare and unusual ones. Will post some pictures if people are interested.
Thought I’d share one. My Ulu.
For those who don’t know a Ulu is a Eskimo/Lapp all purpose knife. And for the Westerner they take a little bit of getting used to, once you do, you can do anything with them; from skinning the largest animal to the finest filleting and boning.
The Eskimo/Lapps can often be seen biting at a chunk of meat then slicing it off just in front of their face.
This one was made by a Mr. Roselli. A knife maker in Australia who hails from up the Arctic somewhere – Norway I think.
He makes his own (awesome high carbon) steel from scratch and forges it. The blade is just under 7.5 inches across the top and just under 5 inches at its deepest point – not counting the handle.
The blade is so sharp that just looking at the edge will make your eyeballs bleed!!! It is the most fabulous cutting tool.
He also makes traditional Lapp hatchets of the same quality.
Anyway, for those that have never seen one before -- Enjoy.
For every expert there is an equal and opposite expert.
